Is Obama Camp Getting Desperate?
RICHMOND, Va. – Undaunted by the heat, James Bailey spent his late-summer afternoons walking Virginia’s bleakest neighborhoods on the hunt for ex-cons – each a potential voter who might cast the decisive ballot in this hotly contested state.
The nonprofit groups and individual activists making the push on felons’ behalf agree the effort is broader this year than in previous elections, even if they aren’t necessarily making a coordinated push. They expect that effort to benefit Barack Obama more than John McCain, given that the population of former felons is disproportionately black.
Obama has co-sponsored a Senate measure that would allow all ex-felons to vote, but his campaign isn’t directly targeting ex-felons for registration. His campaign does include relevant info on its Web site and educates volunteers so they can explain state laws to those who may not realize they have the right to vote, said spokesman Kevin Griffis

Obama has pulled out of Texas and Georgia and one more that I can’t remember right now
yes
umm he’s winning at the moment
McCain is the one who is desperate. Why do u think he picked Palin? She can only answer scripted questions
why would he be desperate, considering he’s leading in the polls by seven points.
No, but I think you are.
Even though I like McCain, I have to admit that the Obama campaign is probably anything but desperate at this point in time.
My opinion is if you commit a felony you should not be allowed to vote. Regardless of their party/candidate choice.
I fear their attempt to vote my cause some voting fraud because the states are so inundated with registration requests they may miss the fact that a felon has registered.
Obama is winning.
No, they’ve got McSame on the run. They’ve chased him out of Michigan, and PA and NV may be next.
McCain is so desperate that he is trying to win one electoral vote out of Maine, because his only scenario of winning only gets him to 269 of the 270 electoral votes he needs.
Yes Barack Obama is getting desperate since hes leading comfortably in several key battleground states, and continues to increase in lead

Oh. I don’t think so. Polls are polls, but I mean

it’s looking pretty likely for him to be elected now.
Also, if a person has done the time and has paid his or her debt to society, I see no reason to suspend the right to vote. Do you think Gordon Liddy, John Poindexter, and Oliver North should not be allowed to vote? Okay.

Read answer.
That’s not desperation. That’s typical Chicago politics which have been practiced for decades.
Didn’t you know that Democrats can also raise the dead? They vote from their graves also.
Well look what’s happening in Ohio which is really opening up the elections to fraud.
ACORN registers the dead to vote
Now they are on the streets finding ex-felons to vote… a bottle of booze, a hit of crack should do that if they can just get them registered.
